We all should've gotten in tech

(Nepo babies stay out of discussion)

We really should've all gotten in tech. I'm a rising senior and hearing about software engineers fucking making over 200 grand working 40 hours a week sounds insane. Not just for FAANG like even regular firms.

Can't even forget the lifestyle differences. Or weather. Comparing SF winters to NYC winters, or even all year round. Also them working at home for a good amount of times. Coming into office in jeans and a t-shirt. All that for us to work our ass off and stress out and bald for a lot less comp. Fucking insane. 

Don't even get me started on the amount of tech SF kids that have become their own multimillionaire boss with their startups, something you see in finance when you have kids and are balding and you still have to work your ass off.

Is this shit even worth it? Like genuinely. I understand it might've been in the 80s or whenever. Making 400k bonuses in your 20s. This is why I said nepo babies out of discussion, by the way, like if my dad was some NYC finance guy yeah I'd choose it so I can easily get a job and follow in footsteps. But for the rest of us?

I know finance will always be around and there will forever be money in it. I'm just like. Why? I see the way money lives in SF and tech and it laps finance by a fucking mile. In every category possible except the women. I'm not even in investment banking I'm a college kid that is a bit all over the place but just wanted to write out some thoughts.

We refers to other college students like me who have spent their time time trying to recruit into finance instead of tech. Can't be that hard to pick it up
